5 Ways to Care for Your Hair Extensions This Spring

1. Book a Maintenance Appointment

After a long winter of cold, dry air and heavy styling, your extensions could use a little extra love. A spring appointment is the perfect time to refresh your look—whether that means trimming split ends, lightening your color, or adding movement with fresh layers or soft curtain bangs.

Our clients visit the salon every 6–8 weeks for maintenance. These regular touch-ups allow us to treat and reapply their extensions while also giving their natural hair the care it needs to stay healthy and strong.

Even if you’re not currently wearing extensions, a spring maintenance appointment is a great opportunity to trim away dry ends and step into the season with a fresh, healthy look.

2. Deep Clean & Detox Your Scalp

Add “spring clean your scalp” to your seasonal beauty to-do list.

A clean, healthy scalp is essential for long-lasting extensions. We recommend using a gentle clarifying shampoo once a week to remove product buildup—especially around the roots and extension bonds.

Christina has designed a lightweight, cleansing shampoo that’s perfect for refreshing your scalp without stripping your hair. It’s the ultimate spring reset for your hair care routine.

Follow with a nourishing scalp serum to keep your scalp balanced, soothed, and hydrated. For effortless shine this season, we love the lightweight serum from NEQI—it’s the perfect product to elevate your spring hair care routine.

Want to take it a step further? This is one of the many luxurious add-ons you can ask for during your spring maintenance appointment.

3. Switch to Lightweight, Hydrating Products

Spring is the time to lighten up—starting with your products. To care for your hair extensions this spring, let’s swap out your winter products for lightweight, spring formulas.

Trade in thick winter creams for weightless, hydrating formulas that add moisture and shine without weighing your extensions down. Our go-to? The Oribe Supershine Shampoo and Conditioner for soft, glossy strands that feel as good as they look.

Starting with the right base is always important, but you can also introduce a few new products into your routine to style your hair this spring.

For taming flyaways, we swear by the anti-frizz wand from BondiBoost. It not only nourishes your hair but also keeps those pesky flyaways in check—ensuring your look stays flawless all day long. This is a must-have, especially with the unpredictable New York weather!

For all-day volume, make sure to add Oribe’s Swept Up Volume Powder to your routine. This product takes your home blowouts to the next level, giving you that Brigitte Bardot-inspired volume that lasts from morning to night.

4. Protect Your Hair from the Elements

As temperatures rise, so does exposure to UV rays and humidity. Protect your hair with a salon-grade heat protectant or UV spray. We love this heat protectant styling spray from NEQI.

For extra luxury (and less frizz), sleep on a silk pillowcase and use silk accessories throughout the day—especially when your hair is wet. This pack of silk scrunchies is gentle on your delicate hair, helping to reduce breakage and frizz.

Another way to protect your hair extensions this spring is by improving the quality of your water. Simply add the Jolie Skin water filter to your shower to remove chlorine and heavy metals. Not only will it help keep your hair looking its best, but it’ll also leave your skin glowing and improve your overall wellbeing this season.

5. Embrace a New Spring Style

Spring is the season of reinvention—and your hairstyle is no exception. Whether you’re craving romantic waves, a sleek ponytail, or a full, bouncy blowout, extensions give you the volume and length to experiment with fresh, exciting looks all season long.

Some of our favorite spring styles right now include classic home blowouts, Brigitte Bardot volume, and chic curtain bangs. To protect your hair while styling, we recommend using a salon-quality blow dryer. Our current favorite? The Flexstyle Blowdryer, which is on sale right now! Its built-in diffuser allows you to style your hair with precision while minimizing heat damage—so your hair stays healthy, shiny, and beautiful all season long.
